The pre-blended packet of chili pepper, cumin, onion, garlic, and salt removes measuring and spice hunting, so you spend about 5 minutes combining it with your protein, beans, tomatoes, and water before simmering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I rely on this single packet to feed my family on a tight dinner schedule?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 1.25 oz packet is designed to season four servings.

Stir in one packet of McCormick Original Chili Seasoning Mix, then add a 15 oz can of kidney beans, a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes, and 1 cup of water.

For a slow cooker, brown the meat first if desired, then combine all ingredients and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. For an Instant Pot, use the sauté function to brown the meat, add the remaining ingredients, and pressure cook on high for about 10 minutes with a natural release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this chili seasoning work with ground turkey, chicken, or venison?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Using two packets will noticeably increase both the chili flavor intensity and the heat, as well as the salt content. Most cooks find one packet per pound of protein is ideal, but you can adjust to taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is chili seasoning mix different from taco seasoning mix?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChili seasoning is built around chili pepper, cumin, onion, garlic, and salt, producing a deeper, slower-simmered flavor. Taco seasoning is typically brighter, with more oregano and a slightly different spice balance suited for quicker-cooked ground meat fillings. They can be substituted in a pinch, but the final dish will taste noticeably different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Knacklos","offers":[{"title":"1.25 Ounce (Pack of 24)","offer_id":43544847417434,"sku":"DDXB0012ONGZO","price":29.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7969\/9034\/files\/pre-blended-signature-spice-mix-combining-chili-pepper-cumin.jpg?v=1782280269","url":"https:\/\/knacklos.myshopify.com\/products\/mccormick-original-chili-seasoning-mix-for-quick-weeknight-family-dinners-1-25-oz-packet","provider":"Knacklos","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
